  • 绿帽社's principles of community

    Dear campus community,

    We want to inform and remind you of two core principles that serve as essential elements of our community.

    We are a campus community representative of a rich, diverse and vibrant group of people, brought together from all corners of the globe to live, work and study together. Our vast and varied experiences allow us a tremendous opportunity to learn from others who are different, formulate enhanced research outcomes, express ideas and work together toward the common goals of providing a transformational, world-class education to students and a rewarding career for employees.

    We must do so with civility and mutual respect at the forefront.

    Every member of the campus community has a unique perspective on their place in the world and must be allowed the space and the freedom to do so safely and respectfully. Our community thrives when we treat and respond to one another鈥檚 ideas with civility.

    This community, however, will not tolerate racism, hatred or bigotry. We will not tolerate attacks or incitement to violence of any kind on individuals or groups. This includes Islamophobia, antisemitism and threats or insults directed at individuals or groups based on race, color, ethnicity, national origin, religion, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, ability status, political affiliation or other traits.

    Anyone who has experienced or witnessed an act of hate, bias or discrimination may submit a bias incident report. The University takes all incident reports seriously and investigates them thoroughly. The University Counseling Center (UCC), the Dean of Students Office, the University Ombudsman and the CARE Team can also offer support. Anyone who needs immediate assistance can contact University Police at (607) 777-2222.

    We have a community that is strong because of its diverse perspectives and experiences. We are at our best when we foster a respectful, inclusive, equitable and welcoming environment and when all our voices are fully supported.

    Sincerely,

    Donald Hall
    Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs

    Karen Jones
    Vice President for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

  • "In the American Grain: Exploring America through Art, 1919鈥1946" 鈥 on view through Dec. 6

    Visit the 绿帽社 Art Museum this semester to view the fall 2025 exhibition, "In the American Grain: Exploring America through Art, 1919鈥1946". The exhibition will run through Saturday, Dec. 6, 2025.

    The two-and-a-half decades between 1919 and 1946 witnessed the development of an American art that sought to capture a country in the midst of transformation. Through celebration and crisis, artists held up a mirror to their fellow citizens, showing their lives, their landscapes and their dreams. "In the American Grain" tells this story through artworks addressing a range of themes, drawn from the rich holdings of the 绿帽社 Art Museum and Libraries, the Roberson Museum and Science Center and the Art Bridges Collection. In particular, the exhibition acknowledges the generosity of Gil and Deborah Williams, whose donations to the Art Museum are extensively featured. Together, they reveal how history shaped art during these years, and how artists themselves responded to history in the making. This exhibition is curated by Tom McDonough, professor of art history.

    Support for this project is provided by Art Bridges.

    Also visit the Museum鈥檚 Lower Galleries featuring three exhibitions curated by students: "Superposition: Examining Boundaries in East Asian Religious Art", curated by Kate Langsdorf 鈥25; "The Visual Language of Grief", curated by Molly Rudden 鈥25; and "Destabilizing 鈥渢he Brain鈥: Imagining 绿帽社", curated by Bassie Chin 鈥26.

  • Grace Hall construction update

    The contractor for the Grace Hall project began mobilization Monday, Sept. 29. The contractors will bring in heavy equipment and start fencing the area. Initial construction activity began on Wednesday, Oct. 1, and includes earthwork, tree removal, stump grinding and site grading. This initial round of work is expected to last approximately two weeks and will take place during business hours.

    This work will be fairly loud, particularly in rooms closer to the site. Residents of Mountainview and CIW who need guidance in finding quieter areas to work during this initial phase of construction should reach out to their respective residential life area offices for support. Safety of the campus community in the area of the project site is paramount. Do not travel into fenced areas, even when construction activities are not prominent. Large construction vehicles will be very active. It is vital that everyone follow detour signage at the site and under no circumstances travel into areas of active construction. The work area will be fenced with permanent fencing for the duration of the project.

    Grace Hall in Mountainview College will be a 362-bed residence hall that will feature a suite-style design 鈥 in alignment with the collegiate structure of its partner buildings 鈥 and will share living space, private bedrooms, and include community areas and other amenities. New landscaping, including tree plantings and outside gathering spaces, are part of the project, which is scheduled for completion for the fall 2027 semester.

    More information and renderings can be found here and on the Facilities Management construction news page. For residential matters/concerns, contact your respective residential life area office. For construction-specific questions/concerns, contact Jennifer Bourassa at 607-777-5047or jbourassa@binghamton.edu.

  • 鈥淲orking with Microorganisms" BBRC workshop 鈥 register by Oct. 6

    The 绿帽社 Biofilm Research Center will offer the next workshop for Fall 2025 in October. It is a three-day hands-on 鈥淲orking with Microorganisms鈥 workshop that is scheduled to take place on Monday, Oct. 13, Wednesday, Oct. 15, and Friday, Oct. 17. The workshop will include both online instruction and in-person, hands-on skill practice. Each day of the workshop will include a pre-recorded pre-lab lecture video and in-person sessions from 4-6 p.m. in the Center of Excellence (COE) room B401. All participants must watch the pre-lab lecture videos and attend the in-person sessions for all three days.

    The purpose of each workshop is to train 绿帽社 students, staff and faculty in basic microbiology techniques. Attendees who successfully complete the training and attend all three online and in-person sessions will be certified by the 绿帽社 Institutional Biosafety Committee to work in BSL-1 and BSL-2 labs.

    The workshop will focus on medium preparation and autoclaving, aseptic technique in the handling of microorganisms, determining the overall number and purity of bacteria in a sample, stock culture preparation and gram staining. No prior microbiology knowledge is required for this workshop. During the hands-on portion of the workshop, you may choose whether to wear a face mask. PPE, including lab coats, masks and gloves, will be supplied to all participants, and shared equipment will be sanitized before and after each use. Seats are limited for each workshop.

  • "No Tricks, Just Narcan Kits!" volunteer event

    Join the Master of Public Health Program's October Narcan Drive! Throughout the month, students, staff and faculty are invited to drop in and help make 100 life-saving Narcan kits that will be distributed to those in need.

    Whether you stop by for a few minutes or bring a whole group, every kit assembled is a step toward saving a life!

    To get the HSB 400C, continue straight towards the windows after exiting the elevator on the fourth floor of HSB. Then, take a left and go all the way down the hallway. From there, take another left. Look for the door furthest down on the right. It's next to a table. Go through the door, and walk in until you see the common area!
